Those of you who follow us on Facebook know that we’ve got a bug up our butt about Soaring Paws, a Florida-based ‘charity’ that purports to fly dogs in need to waiting homes. Thing is, the outfit is pretty shady. I mean, you know it’s shady when even GoFundMe is getting in on the hating, it takes a lot for GoFundMe to be like “yeah, that’s shady.”

If there’s anything we hate more than GoFundMe grifters, it’s GoFundMe grifters who manipulate animal lovers into giving up their hard-earned cash under the guise of “helping” animals. This clown seems to have cornered the market on that, and as such he should pay.

The crowdfunding website GoFundMe has suspended a campaign instituted by the pet rescue organization Soaring Paws while it looks into the finances of the group and its founder, Albert Lonzo Adams III.

Adams is asking donors to help him buy an airplane to fly dogs and cats from shelters to rescue groups, which is a fairly common practice in the U.S. But many pilots donate their time and use of their airplanes to such efforts.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that GoFundMe media director Kelsea Little said that Adams’ campaign has been “suspended while we are reviewing it. We were alerted to this by the GoFundMe community.”

Patty Ryan over at The Tampa Bay Times has written several pieces about the saga of Soaring Paws, and last week good ole Al found himself on the receiving end of some well-deserved ire after a piece on This Ain’t Hell brought focus to his questionable military service. The best part was the ‘Colonel’ himself in the comments not only losing his shit but faking comments from his own IP address as supporters of Soaring Paws. Oh boy.

Wow, you are really a site of vicious bullies who clearly have no facts. I can see the face book page and I also see a post on it days ago saying the website would be down while it undergoes a facelift or something of that nature.

His Facebook page was NOT the one supposed to be down. It was his .com. The .com changed to .org and Godaddy has parked that. Get your facts straight, this guy is a hacker, stalker, fake profile maker, liar, consistent bullshitter. Put up or shut your damn mouth. He’s been proven Stolen Valor, yeah, go look at that why don’t you. If you’re defending this piece of shit, you’re no better than he is. The proof is in the pudding.
